I can usually tune out other conversations around me while I'm
playing VP, even cell phone conversations. It's strangers who want
to carry on a running conversation with ME that cause me problems.
And I'm not talking about someone who says "good one" when I get a
quad or some other nice hand, or even a novice who asks a question
about the operation of their machine. I'm talking about someone who
hangs around for 15 or 20 minutes, not playing at all, but carrying
on a continuously running chatter about my play. I was recently
playing a 10 play machine when this old Asian lady sits down next to
me and starts asking "You win?" after every single hand. This goes
on for hand after hand after hand after hand after hand....
She would also call out the wrong cards, which I found VERY
distracting. For example, if I was dealt AQJxx unsuited, and the
correct hold was QJ, she would say "Aces, come on aces!" while I was
trying to pick the correct cards. One time I had to stop and feed
the machine a few more hundred dollars, and she said "Oh - my -
god!!!", like she couldn't believe someone would waste so much money
on a VP machine. Then back to "You win?" after the next hand. I
tried to completely ignore her, but she JUST WOULDN'T LEAVE.
Grrrrrr. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to cash out and
walk around some until she left the vicinity.
Don't these people have a life?
